“Tasmania is home to the annual Nude Solstice Swim, which sees hundreds of people strip naked and take to the brutally freezing waters of Hobart's Long Beach to celebrate the end of Dark Mofo.  This year, I will be taking part in the event for the first time.” – Micah Forbes, https://www.vice.com/en_au/read/i-spent-a-week-training-for-a-nude-solstice-swim

 “I remember laying on the hospital starkers as two teams rushed in to save my life and the life of my son.  Suddenly, having someone see me naked felt unimportant.  Really, from that moment I didn't feel as compelled to cover up.  I've answered the door with a drippy boob hanging out of my top (it's a great way to stop the more conservative religious door knockers - they leave pamphlets in the mailbox now).  Until my kids say they want us to stop, there will be saggy boobs, wibbly bellies, and furry wangs (from my hubby).” – Keira Owens, https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1098632346848256&id=1019711431407015&substory_index=0

“Of course, it's natural for many people to think that something untoward should happen when a bunch of people get together without any clothes on.  However, most people who follow the nudist movement don't think there's anything inherently sexual in taking off their clothes.  They just think it helps them be free and to return to their natural states, and that's all that matters to them.” - http://m.wikihow.com/Practice-Nudism?utm_content=buffer641e7&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

“We live in a crowded area in the Netherlands.  We have neighbors and they know about our naturistic way of life.  They can see us nude but have no problems with that.  So we are nude in our garden if the weather is good.  We have lived here more than 20 years and never had complaints.  We have a good contact with our neighbors and we visit each other frequently.  When they come to us we can be naked. . . no problem.” – NaturistNI, https://www.truenudists.com/forum/viewthread.php?id=2938&page=6

“Naturism has definitely helped me to accept my body and myself.  Of course I would like to change things about my body, but it is my body and I can accept it for the way it is.  Naturism has helped me talk more openly about personal subjects that I would not have been comfortable with before then.” – Mike, http://asanaexposed.com/2015/12/26/mike-tracy-naked-yoga-interview/
